Is it just me, or does it feel like Nas is having a midlife creative renaissance? I mean, by the close of the 90s, we were already crowning him a hall of fame emcee. Fast forward a few decades, and while he’s navigated his fair share of musical ups and downs—let’s be honest, who hasn’t?—he’s recently busted out an astonishing number of quality albums that leave us all scratching our heads in awe. It’s like he’s got the fountain of youth hidden somewhere in his discography! And guess what? He’s not done yet. After teasing on social media a slew of upcoming projects, it looks like we’re in for some exciting reunions with beloved collaborators—not just another solo album tossed out in the deep end of streaming services. So, what do you say we dive into the details of what’s cooking in Nas’ schedule? It’s shaping up to be a wild ride, and I can’t help but wonder if his collaboration with DJ Premier will finally make us stop asking “What’s the deal with that collab album?” after all these years!
Nas was a hall of fame emcee by the time the 90s came to a close. He’s experienced some rough patches throughout his four decade career, but we are not in the midst of one. Nas has rattled off a staggeringly impressive number of solid albums over the last six years. He knows it, too, because he recently got on social media to tease plans for future releases. We’re not talking about solo releases, either. We’re talking about reunions with some of Nas’ most beloved collaborators.
The rapper hopped on Instagram to share a screenshot of his March recording schedule. DJ Premier absolutely dominates the month when it comes to studio sessions. The legendary producer is piecing together the highly anticipated collab album that was first announced in 2006. The duo dropped a lead single in 2024, “Define My Name,” but the chunks of time they have carved out in the neat future is a very good sign. Hopefully 2025 is the year we get this historic pairing. Nas even gave Preemo a shout out for his birthday.
The other name that got fans excited is “Mobb.” It’s safe to assume this means the Queens emcee will get putting work in on the upcoming Mobb Deep album. This tracks with an interview Alchemist gave in February. The producer is playing a huge role in the album, which will be the first released after Prodigy‘s death. The Alchemist and Havoc are taking the reins, but the latter told the Breakfast Club that Nas is also heavily involved. “It’s me and Hav doing the beats,” the producer asserted. “Nas is involved. It feels great just to hear his voice again. We missed it. It’s a void not hearing his voice anymore.”
The one curveball collaboration that Nas teased in his 2025 schedule is Slick Rick. The duo have proven to have great chemistry, as evidenced by the cut “Me and Nas Bring It to You Hardest,” so we will keep our fingers crossed that their meeting yields new music. The non-music piece of Nas’ schedule that has caught attention is “JFK research.” Evidently, the rapper is going to be sifting through government files when he’s not laying down verses.
